<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800080>I have only a few
inquiries. When completed, will the Lakota Dictionary be available via CD,
On Line Site, printed version in book form or all three? There are
discussions that an electronic dictionary is the current trend, but I guess I'm
old enough to appreciate the finger tip convenience of books, in lieu of PC
surfin & searchin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800080>Also, what is the anticipated
(approximate) date the dictionary will be available?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800080>For what it is worth, under the
dictionary grant that I am working, the Baxoje-Jiwere Dictionary ~ English
(and reverse) which revises and amplifies my 1992 BJ-Eng (& reverse) Lexicon
is to have its first revision (via a PDF) to be hosted at the Kansas State
Historical Society Library web site, the tribal website as well as my own site
in approximate one year from now. A final unabridged encyclopedic edition
is to replace the initial revision at all three web sites in approximately
three years or (about) April 2010. Again . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800080>I anticipate that it will be
available on CDs , and hopefully and ultimately in a hard copy
book. </FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT><BR><BR>Jimm<BR><BR>Thank you
for your thoughtful letter.<BR>I agree that teaching a language as a tool of
communication should not be based on methods involving abstract linguist
terminology. On the other hand, being aware of the underlying structures of a
language and classification of part of speech is of much help to any one who
teaches the language, whether he is a native speaker or not.<BR><BR>I believe
that one of the main purposes of a dictionary is not only to define words, but
also to classify them. Therefore I think that a good dictionary has to mark
part of speech of the target language words. Our Lakota dictionary naturally
marks part of speech of Lakota words in the Lakota-English section. My
uncertainty dealt with marking part of speech in the English-Lakota section.
Whether or not it should be marked for the Lakota words and how to do
that.<BR>I think that many dictionary users do not pay attention to the
grammatical information (such as POS), but it is important to include it
nevertheless. Advanced language learners, teachers of the language or linguist
benefit from it. We do our best to make the grammatical information so that it
does not stand in the way of the visual surface clarity and user-friendliness
of the dictionary.<BR><BR>I also agree that students best learn from examples.
Almost every entry in our 20,000 entry Lakota dictionary includes one or more
example sentences and collocations. We also give conjugation paradigm under
each verb.<BR><BR>Thank you for the illustrations from your dictionary, very
interesting! And good luck in your continuous work.<BR><BR>Best
regards<BR><BR>Jan<BR><BR><!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| --></P></DIV></DIV><!-- ygrp-msg --><!-- Sponsor -->
